I have an umbrella tree, very small, that has been extremely difficult to take care of. I moved it to my kitchen window and it suddently began to sprotut new growth and look much greener. Now, some of the leaves are beginning to turn yellow and a few have dropped off. Anyone have advice for me? Thank You!
Possible causes: This is a common problem. Unfortunately this may be due to a number of problems including too much or too little light, and too much fertilizer. It could also be caused by too much water.
What to Do: In the order listed above, adjust your plants environment. Hold off adding any additional fertilizer until the problem is resolved. Watch carefully to see how your plant responds.
Symptom: Leaf Drop
Possible cause: Too much sun or fertilizer. Too much or too little water. Exposure to cold or draft.
What to Do: Follow the proper procedure for watering your houseplants. Hold off adding fertilizer for three to four weeks. If you have your plant in a sunny window, move it to a location with less light. Check the temperature of where you have your plant.
